   2. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) What's up? What's up, Greg?

   3. GOGreg Overton0:13

      What's up, bro?

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Good to see you, my friend.

   5. GOGreg Overton0:15

      Yeah, dude. Dude, it's hell to see you.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      Pull up, uh, to the microphone so p- other people can hear you.

   7. GOGreg Overton0:19

      So people can hear me and see me.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      Have you ever done a podcast? Yeah, you have done a pod- I've listened to you on podcasts.

   9. GOGreg Overton0:23

      I've done... Oh, you did?

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       I listen... Yeah, I listened to you on some pod... I was shooting arrows in my backyard and, uh, some podcast came up and it said Greg Overton. I'm like, "Get the fuck out of here."

   11. GOGreg Overton0:34

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       My man.

   13. GOGreg Overton0:35

       See, I'm doing all kinds of shit. Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       All kinds of shit.

   15. GOGreg Overton0:37

       My boy Justin, who's from Pittsburgh, what's up Justin? He does the Curious Jones podcast.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Mm-hmm.

   17. GOGreg Overton0:44

       And we also, uh, do those Zippos, he does those.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       Oh, yeah.

   19. GOGreg Overton0:48

       So Lit Zips, uh, Curious Jones podcast. He's a cool dude.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       We got one of those right here.

   21. GOGreg Overton0:54

       Yep. The Black Dragon Samurai.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       Yeah, this is the samurai that we have outside next to the... Did you see the actual samurai armor?

   23. GOGreg Overton1:01

       Yeah. Fucking crazy. And the s-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       It' real samurai armor.

   25. GOGreg Overton1:03

       ... and the sword, dude.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       And the sword. The sword is even older than the armor. The armor is from the 1800s, but the sword is from the 1500s.

   27. GOGreg Overton1:09

       So is that... That's right before the Sengoku Jidai, the time of the country at war, the 300 years where they're at war. I'm trying to think. Did it begin in the 1500s?

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:22

       I don't e- have any knowledge-

   29. GOGreg Overton1:23

       Can you look that up?

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       ... of that.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. GOGreg Overton15:00

      Probably language wasn't that advanced when they were doing that, but they wanted to say something profound. You know what I mean?

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      Mm-hmm.

   3. GOGreg Overton15:05

      Like, they didn't have, like, books and poems and all that. They weren't advanced as far as writing stuff down.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:13

      Mm-hmm.

   5. GOGreg Overton15:14

      So they'd write it down in a, like a pictograph.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      Mm-hmm.

   7. GOGreg Overton15:17

      And that's how they would communicate those deeper truths. And if you, if you look at those cave drawings, they're always ... They have the same themes, you know? Have you looked at those? You know what I'm talking about?

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:28

      I've looked at a lot of them. Yeah.

   9. GOGreg Overton15:29

      They have a, a hunter.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       Mm-hmm.

   11. GOGreg Overton15:31

       And he's kind of with the animals.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Mm-hmm.

   13. GOGreg Overton15:33

       They're going along. And then there's, like, this big, tall motherfucker with a space helmet on or something.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       (laughs) There's a lot of those.

   15. GOGreg Overton15:40

       Right? Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       There's a lot of ... Explain that.

   17. GOGreg Overton15:42

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       Yeah.

   19. GOGreg Overton15:42

       Well, I mean, I don't know if, if I have to. You have to just look at the fucking thing. They explained it.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:47

       Well, I don't know what that means, you know? I really don't. I could ... They could have been tripping balls.

   21. GOGreg Overton15:51

       Yeah, but it-

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:52

       Or it could be that when you're tripping balls, you meet those folks, and they're real.

   23. GOGreg Overton15:56

       Yeah. That's what I was gonna say. I was like, the same with Grateful Dead, bro.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:59

       Yeah.

   25. GOGreg Overton15:59

       They just got taken up.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       Ah.

   27. GOGreg Overton16:00

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       I've often thought about that, about, um, UFO experiences, because I think maybe it's like a state of mind. There's a state of mind that you, uh, you can achieve, and you could see them. You know, not ... I mean, o- not if they're not there, clearly. But I think that they're not-

   29. GOGreg Overton16:18

       That if they're not here-

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:18

       Yeah.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   They wouldn't believe me.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      you didn't do it on purpose.

   2. GOGreg Overton30:01

      They wouldn't believe me.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      Oh, come on.

   4. GOGreg Overton30:03

      Well, I-

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:03

      They thought you were trying to hit him instead of hitting the other guy?

   6. GOGreg Overton30:07

      Yeah. They probably still do. I didn't fucking do it, Mike. But-

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:10

      Well, how hammered were you though?

   8. GOGreg Overton30:12

      Oh shit hammered.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Zzz, zzz.

   10. GOGreg Overton30:13

       So fucking hammered I couldn't even see, that's why I was like, "I'm just gonna throw out the long kick."

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       (laughs)

   12. GOGreg Overton30:18

       And take him out, you know?

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:20

       (screams)

   14. GOGreg Overton30:21

       But then I, I thought, 'cause the dude's still standing there like Juggernaut-

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       Yeah.

   16. GOGreg Overton30:25

       ... and I thought I hit him with my best kick. So I'm like, "This dude-"

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       Oh, no.

   18. GOGreg Overton30:28

       "... has to go."

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       Oh, no.

   20. GOGreg Overton30:30

       And so I, then I'm like, "All right, Judo for you." I fucking-

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:33

       (laughs)

   22. GOGreg Overton30:33

       ... hip tossed him onto the concrete.... and I started to, you know that, when you have like a scarf hold-

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       Mm-hmm.

   24. GOGreg Overton30:39

       ... and you introduce a chicken wing with y-

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       Yeah, it's like an Americano.

   26. GOGreg Overton30:40

       ... with your leg though.

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:41

       Yeah. Mm-hmm, yeah.

   28. GOGreg Overton30:42

       And so I was pushing out the hip, getting ready to break his shoulder, and his fucking girlfriend kicked me in the face, 'cause she was watching the fight.

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       Mm-hmm.

   30. GOGreg Overton30:50

       And he-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Not all of them.…

   1. GOGreg Overton45:00

      doing something here, and I'm part of it. And I get to just sit here and chill and, like, take it all in and go, "Wow, fuck." I'm in this new city that they're building. They've got cranes on the tops of all the buildings. The restaurants look all vital. That's just, I love to see that, and I'm like, "Dude, all these people have good perspective."

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:20

      Not all of them.

   3. GOGreg Overton45:21

      Well, I mean, like, more and more-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:23

      (laughs) It's a good vibe, right?

   5. GOGreg Overton45:24

      I don't know.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      An overall good vibe of the city, right?

   7. GOGreg Overton45:26

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:27

      Yeah.

   9. GOGreg Overton45:27

      I, I didn't know what to expect, but I was, like, impressed. I was like, "This place seems pretty cool." And I realize, that's my perspective. I'm looking for the good.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       Mm-hmm.

   11. GOGreg Overton45:35

       Right? But somebody else might be in the same exact spot, and they would only notice the weird homeless dude over there-

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       Right.

   13. GOGreg Overton45:43

       ... that they, they hope that he doesn't come over here and ask them for some money, or they're stressing out about their bills, or whatever it is. And I'm just sitting here thinking, "Oh, yeah, fuck. Perspective. Look at how fucking cool life is." 'Cause it, it really is, dude. I think we've all gotten so fucked up with, by these little cellphones that have kinda captured us, that we kinda forget, just go outside.

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       Yeah.

   15. GOGreg Overton46:06

       You know?

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:07

       Go outside and experience some things. It's just hard to do when you're stuck. If you're at home and you're just, like, staring at your phone, it's hard to, like, put it down and start moving. It's hard.

   17. GOGreg Overton46:17

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:17

       But you really have to. It's a trap. It's trying to get us to get sucked into the machine, kids, and it's coming. And if you think it's difficult to resist now, just wait.

   19. GOGreg Overton46:26

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:27

       Just wait.

   21. GOGreg Overton46:28

       But just don't let your tolerance get all low. Like, don't just keep fucking with it.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:32

       Right.

   23. GOGreg Overton46:32

       Like, right now, go camping.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:34

       Yeah.

   25. GOGreg Overton46:34

       Right now, go learn to ride a horse. Like, do-

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:37

       I don't know about that.

   27. GOGreg Overton46:38

       You know?

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:39

       You get hurt riding horses.

   29. GOGreg Overton46:40

       I got some crazy horse stories, dude.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:41

       I know a lot of people-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:08:28

   Right. …

   1. GOGreg Overton1:00:00

      evolve to your first level, 'cause for all we know, we're still white belts."

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      Right.

   3. GOGreg Overton1:00:04

      You know?

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      Well, leafcutter ants, uh, have no idea that you have a car. They have no idea. They have no idea what a, a, a, a Bitcoin is.

   5. GOGreg Overton1:00:12

      Yep.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      They have no idea, you know, what 4G is. They don't know shit, and they're in-

   7. GOGreg Overton1:00:16

      They just know about cutting leaves and being assed.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

      Right, they're th- but they're around it all the time. It's very possible that there's some shit like that in other dimensions that are equally bizarre that we just, we, we are not connected to all the time, and they might be here all the time. And if that's the case, then it makes sense that they would start showing up when we were in the middle of dropping nukes on each other. They'd be like, "Hey, hey, hey, hey."

   9. GOGreg Overton1:00:41

      (laughs) It'd be like when your parents heard you just beating the shit out of each other in the other room, they'd come in there like, "All right, fucking settle down." (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       "Settle down, boys." Yeah.

   11. GOGreg Overton1:00:48

       "You're gonna fuck up the drywall now."

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:50

       Yeah, "You guys are crashing into fucking TVs and shit."

   13. GOGreg Overton1:00:53

       (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:53

       They're like, "Hey."

   15. GOGreg Overton1:00:53

       "That's all it is."

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:54

       "That's enough."

   17. GOGreg Overton1:00:54

       "We're just their dumb kids in the next room making a bunch of noise."

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:58

       It might be something similar. Uh, because y- maybe they needed to let us know, like, "Hey, there's some, there's some other folks here, and they're way more advanced, and s- settle the fuck down, you know."

   19. GOGreg Overton1:01:07

       "You know, we're trying to bring you along, just-... you know?

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

       The problem is, with all that stuff, is it's so hard to know what's true and what's bullshit, just like the Bigfoot thing. It's so hard to... Well, the Bigfoot thing's way easier, right? But the, the UFO thing, see, there's way more evidence. It, it's so hard to know what's bullshit. Th- this is so hard. It's so hard to know who's telling the truth and who's lying. It's so hard to know what involvement the government has, in terms of, like, how many of these things are drones? You know, you're hearing now that a lot of these, uh, people that believe that these things are flying around, they think that what we're dealing with is some sort of a government drone, and that a lot of this, uh, off-world craft talk is really just misinformation so that they don't have to take accountability for having some crazy thing that China doesn't have, or maybe China has that we don't have, and then w- they wanna lie about it, you know, try to develop whatever the fuck they have.

   21. GOGreg Overton1:02:04

       Yeah. And when you find out what they're really doing, then it's like, "Oh, okay, now this makes sense."

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:02:09

       Mm-hmm.

   23. GOGreg Overton1:02:09

       Now, that makes sense, 'cause you're having to fucking do all this to develop that, and...

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:02:14

       Well, you know, there was a whole conspiracy about the invention of the transistor, 'cause the transistor came about right after Roswell. And, uh, there's a company called Bell Labs, and Bell Labs, um, was... They, I believe they were the people that invented the transistor. And there was a military base right outside of Bell Labs, and they had always said that that military base was to protect New York City, but it's pretty far from New York City. Like, if you wanted to protect New York City, you put a base a lot closer. You wouldn't... (laughs) You wouldn't put it so far away, where it'd take them, like, 40 minutes to fly there.

   25. GOGreg Overton1:02:48

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:02:49

       But Bell Labs is a, a wild place, and that was one of the main, um, focal points of conspiracy theorists when they were talking about back engineering stuff from, uh, crashed UFOs, was fiber optics and transistors, and that they all came about very shortly after Roswell. And people don't exactly know how they figured those out.

   27. GOGreg Overton1:03:12

       They probably... Those were probably the f- the... like, the most basic things that they recovered, so they were the easiest to figure out, so that's why we had them first. And there's... Like, it's just like those fucking PlayStations.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:03:25

       Mm-hmm.

   29. GOGreg Overton1:03:25

       How they release a better one every few years. Maybe they had PlayStation 5 in '95, but they're still giving us PlayStation 1, 'cause they wanna-

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:03:33

       Right.
